The United States court, Chief
Justice Hays presiding, meets in
Blackfoot, Idaho, on Monday, the
31st, and the session will be an in
teresting one. President Bulge
and about thirty other Mormons
will have chance to answer to in
dictments under the Edmunds law,
and the grand jury is liable to fur
nish a number of other cases.
A horrible Chinese murder was
committed at Cariboo, Idaho, on
the Sth, when Gee Jim killed Lon
Kong by walking into the cabin
and with a large bread knife, cut
ting his victim in the left side so as
let the entrails fall out, causing in
stant death. Gee Jim then escaped
and made his way to Montpelier,
where he was arrested on the 14th
and taken to Blackfoot. Bingham

that it is probable that the sheriff
will have triple hanging on his
hands next spring, in which white
man, negro and a Chinaman will
be the subjects.

must have that number before it
can be admitted as state. The
basis is raised every ten years, to
keep the lower house from becom-
ing too large, but notwithstanding
that fact it looks very probable
that by the time the census Of 1880
is taken Idaho will have popula-
tion necessary for admission. Gov.
Stevenson says, 81 have no doubt
if a census were taken to-day the
population would exceed 100000.
In 1880 the population was 32,91O.

ought to double in three years
more, for the rate of increase now
is much faster than it was q few
years ago. We expect the next
census will show population Of

WEISER LEADER.

On Sunday, the 9th inst, two
boys Of Mr.. Peck, who lives on Up
per Hornet Creek, were out hunt
ing on the headwaters of Hornet
Greek. The boys are aged about
II and 16 years. They found a
cub bear which they killed and
went on a little further when they
saw full grown cinnamon bear at
which the boys fired but missed.
This caused the bear to take after
them, the eldest boy standing his
ground and shooting a second time,
breaking the bears hind leg. The
animal kept coming on, and the
boy being now in close quarters,
dubbed the bear over the head with
his gun until that instrument flew
from his hands, when the now en-
ragged animal caught him by the
arm, severely biting that member
and one of his legs. At this time
the 12-year-old boy rushed up, put
his gun up to the bears head and
blew his brains out, thus saving his
brothers life. This, for one SO
young, was indeed heroic act, and |
is worthy of note the world over. |
After the big bear was killed tn
boys packed the cub on their hor-
ses and went home, and then re-
,urned with wagon for the car
,ass of the old bruin himself.

We understand that the engi-

of division from Shoshone to
Glenn's Ferry, and requested that
the headquarters be moved back to
Shoshone or the property of the

Potter agreed to reimburse the
men, and positively declared that
there would be no further change
in the matter of moving from
Glenn's Ferry back to the old

Information comes from Bellevue
and Haley that a reduction in
miners wages to three dollars day
is contemplated by the owners of
the larger mines on the river. How
much truth there is in the rumor
cannot be ascertained at present,
but the statement comes from au-
thentic sources and it seems prob
able that such a move is under
consideration. Such action will
meet with stubborn resistance on
the part of the miners and they will
receive the moral support of the
community. The present wages
are little enough taking into consid-
Grafton the dangers of the occupa-
ton, and any attempt to cut wages
shows short sighted policy on the
part of the mine owners.

The examination of John Swords
for the killing of Massena G. Fry in
Long Valley on the 9th inst, was
held by Judge Hart The evidence
given by the two Witnesses K. P.
Plowman and George A. Chapman,
was about as follows: Fry, Plow-
man and Chapman were saddling
their animals on the morning Of the
9th, the former to come to Placer
vile and the latter tw1Fto this place.
Plowman, Fry and Bwords were
partners in mining ground in Long
Valley, and had been settling up
some business, Fry using some
very abusive lannuage toward
Sword. Plowman told Fry to set
tie with Swords for furs-amount
$3.50, whereupon Fry replied that
Swords was indebted to him (Fry).
Plowman told Fry that he did not
want any trouble, that their busi-
ness would soon be settled, where
upon Fry replied that if he did not
have it out with Swords then and
there he would some other time.
The only language used by Swords
that could be called abusive, was IN
reply to Fry's statement that
Swords was indebted to him.
Swords called Fry liar. While
the three men were saddllng their
animals, Fry, who was about fifteen
feet from the door, kept on abusing
Swords, who was walking back and
forth IN the house, near the door.
Fry threatened to cut his hearto

of the Comanches, not only held
his own tribe in check, but Influenced
the better element of the KiOwas.
But few of this tribe would listen 10
him, and with their war talk began
depreds,ions on the cattle men. A
band of them Toamed over the cattle
country, visiting residences and great
ly Tightening women and children.
They made such demonstrations about
the chool at ADadsTko as to terrorize
the children. The military was noti-
fed and Capt. Hall determined to
withhold beef rations from the Kiowas
that had caused trouble, but when
Friday came more of the leaders came
in, and 1t was then determined to ar
rest them. This becoming known,
the Kiowas became alarmed, and
leaving their traps, wagons, etc., took
their women and children and all
their ponies to a stronghold in the
Rainy Mountain, about forty miles
from Anadarko. Troops were at once
sent in pursuit and went into camp on
the Wichita, eight miles from the
l. dian position. They advanced 10

lowing night. After three days psrley
the Indians sgreed to give up the eff
tending Indians to Che soldiers located
near the fort, where they could be
watched. The troops returned to
